Not seeing any motion on this, here's a draft patch to make these
scripts complain about missing semicolons.  Against the current
gram.y (which contains 2 such errors, as Michael noted) you
get output like

'/usr/bin/perl' ./parse.pl . < ../../../backend/parser/gram.y > preproc.y
unterminated rule at ./parse.pl line 370, <> line 1469.
make: *** [preproc.y] Error 255
make: *** Deleting file `preproc.y'

That's not *super* friendly, but it does give you the right line number
to look at in gram.y.  We could adjust the script (and the Makefile)
further so that the message would cite the gram.y filename, but I'm not
sure if it's worth the trouble.  Thoughts?

			regards, tom lane
